Definitions

• New supports or packaging which can be transformed or not, multi-function or not, with integrated spoon or not, for the consumption and marketing of ice creams, sorbets & the like.

• the contents of the packaging - supports in accordance with the invention under the generic name of "ice creams”, it being understood that this term is intended to also include food products other than ice creams.
• the supports and packaging, objects of the invention relate to the marketing and consumption of "ice cream" both in itinerant (support to be filled on request by the retailer) and in large and medium-sized areas (packaging to be filled in 'factory).
• the present invention also relates to the marketing and consumption of Italian ice cream (usually made using a special machine on demand, and facing the consumer), and this both filled with factory and itinerant.
• the supports and packages for ice cream or sorbet relating to the invention are made of non-consumable material, impermeable and unalterable against cold and humidity, in specially treated cardboard (paraffin, plasticized, etc.) , plastic or any other non-consumable product with a food characteristic.
• They may be transparent or not, colored or not, fluorescent or not, coated with a paper, cardboard, plastic folder, printed, decorated or simply colored which may or may not be glued to the support.

• filling is carried out by means of the introduction of an extrusion nozzle into the orifice or orifices provided for this purpose.
• Such orifices may advantageously be constituted by four or five lips or slots joining together to form a flexible diaphragm allowing the passage of the filling extrusion nozzle.
• Figure 9 oval hollow in the flat elliptical upper part (13) with two filling holes (14).
• Figure 10 hollow oval at the upper part flattened on the only surface of the hole (12) for introducing the filling nozzle.

These two surfaces (25) occupy almost all of the gripping member (3) excluding the male part (6). In addition to their aesthetic purpose, the two surfaces (25) also fulfill two very distinct functions: a) During the transformation into a boat - Figure 13 - these two surfaces (25) become the sails of the boat whose grip ( 3) is the mast.
